What you’re about to read is intended to be straight to the point: potent, powerful and something that you might even implement straight away!

Today, I want to talk about the work that is most important to do in isolation right now…

The work I’m talking about is of course – the mindset work.

Your mindset work is THE most important thing to be focusing on right now.

Right now, we’re getting a LOT of different stories about what is going on in the world.

We’re receiving SO many different messages because, yes, we’re in an unprecedented time (are you as sick of hearing those two words together as I am?!). But what this means is that no one *actually* knows how this will all unfold, what it will look like, or what it will all mean.

It means that even when you hear messages that are based on news, research, studies, first-person accounts: a lot of what is being shared right now are stories and perspectives on from other people. You’re hearing stories about other people’s reality and what it means for them right now.

You’re being bombarded with information that might not actually be your story, your truth, or your reality.

So what’s really important right now is to get clear on what your OWN stories are.

For example, you might be hearing that it’s harder to sell products and services right now. While I’ve read and heard this very thing through people I trust and respect, it’s not actually my reality. It’s not my story. It’s not my experience.

It’s not my truth.

This is NOT to take away from the fact that this is a truth for somebody else – it’s simply acknowledging that it’s not mine.

The most important thing to do right now is to work out what is true for YOUR life and YOUR business.

I’ll share another example:

You might have come across messaging like ‘if you don’t come out of isolation without a new skill/business/hobby, then you’re not doing isolation right…’

And then the next post you come across might have messaging around…

‘Don’t do anything. Enjoy your time. Rest. Recharge. Do nothing. Come out the other side of this renewed.’

While there’s nothing wrong with either of these well-intended messages, neither of them maybe your truth. (Or maybe one of them is!)

So what I encourage you to do right now is to take the information out there and discern: what is noise and what is my truth.

Here are the most important questions you can ask yourself to clarify your mindset and discern between the noise and your truth:

Question #1: What is my truth right now in my life?

I want to encourage you to write down up to 10 things that are your truths. Think about ALL aspects of your life.

What is my truth right now when it comes to your money?

What is my truth right now when it comes to my business, energy, health, how I feel, my family, my relationships, my sense of play and adventure?

The aim of these questions is not to positivity-wash what’s going on. It’s to get crystal clear on what YOUR truth looks like.

Otherwise, you might find that it’s very easy for you to take on all information as your truth (especially if you’re a highly sensitive human!). This will leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused and unsure of what actions to take next.

Now that you’ve determined what your truth looks like, I invite you to ask yourself…

Question #2: What does success look like for me – right now – during these times?

What are my goals?

What is it that I need right now for me to feel like I’m being successful?

Success is entirely subjective, so please do not associate that word with any external definition! It’s 100% whatever success means for *you* and *you* only.

Success for you might NOT be generating that new hobby or doing that new thing.

It might mean being busier in your business than you’ve ever been right now, so it’s time for you to go all-in on that…

Or it might mean keeping your head above water while keeping up with your client work.

It might be homeschooling your kids while maintaining money flow into your business.

Or it might mean ensuring you’re well-rested and focusing entirely on your health.

Question #3: What does joy look like for me – right now – during these times?

I believe that joy is something that we have an opportunity to self-create. It’s something we can seek out.

We can find and experience joy throughout our day. So, when you ask yourself this question, it’s an opportunity to create this experience for yourself.

Which brings us to the final question to ask yourself…

Question #4: What action steps do I need to take to experience both success and joy in my life right now?

Once you’ve asked yourself these questions, you’ll have the opportunity to get clear on what your truth and reality is right now and be able to create more joy and success for yourself.

I’d so love to know what you come up with from these questions and journaling prompts!

I also want to let you know that I’m DEEP in content creation. I’m creating a brand-new course solely focused on mindset!

I’ve never created a full course dedicated to mindset – I’ve always woven mindset into my other programs. But what I know to be true is that mindset really underpins EVERYTHING. This program will be available for an initial limited release price of only $99 (which is incredibly low-priced for the amount of value it’s packed with!).

This self-study course will be a behind-the-scenes into *my* mindset – the work I do every single day, and the tactics and tools I tap into to dive into mindset in a really powerful way.

Truly….what Ellie Swift doesn’t know about social media is not actually worth knowing! She is whip smart in all things social and combines this incredible knowledge with a lot of heart and soul on how best to use it to inspire and attract clients.

Everything that Ellie does in the realm of social media is worth following and actioning. You couldn’t learn from anyone better.

Since working with Ellie I’m much more confident in putting myself out there, and I’m no longer shying away from the opportunities to do so. Before, I was afraid of being to salesy. I realised that I was doing not only myself but my audience a disservice by not sharing the transforming message and services that my business has to offer.

Because I am now boldly putting myself out there, I’m seeing more leads than ever before who are aligned with my brand’s message.

My previous launches of my online program the Youth Mentor Training have been going well, all with steady enrolments but I wanted to take it to the next level! Ohhh I just knew i wanted to work with Ellie!

Ellie has gone above and beyond with detailed strategy, and is an epic cheerleader. I felt incredibly supported and can’t thank her enough.

The framework for launch strategy that Ellie shared with me was the most helpful… she provided a container for all the random-ness that I often do during launches and made it 1000 times better!

When I started coaching with Ellie, I had just joined the Beautiful You Life Coaching Academy and was very excited to embark on the coaching journey and starting my own business.

I needed a strategy and a vision of what it could all look like. Ellie helped support me with transitioning from my 9-5 job to a part time job, with ease, so that I could focus more on my coaching business.

I’ve completely changed my life. The biggest change I’ve witnessed in myself is that I feel like I am where I am meant to be. I have my dream schedule, working part time whilst building my business.

Before our coaching series, I never intended to take this step so soon, but Ellie’s encouragement helped me to feel supported to take the leap. Ellie’s expertise in marketing really helped me to discover my niche and ideal client – which was an area I was confused about for so long!

You can’t help but absorb Ellie’s beautiful high vibes. She is such a life-changer! Thank you so much Ellie! I am super grateful.

TESTIMONIALS LIFE SUCCESS

Ellie is such a superstar coach! I came into the coaching series with her feeling seriously confused about my purpose and passions and I desperately wanted to know what the next step was for me in my business.

Ellie was able to lovingly guide and support me to discover who I really am and what I really want, and then go about making that a reality. If you’re looking for a coach to help you take you to the next level, I can’t recommend Ellie enough!

I have been able to fully open my heart to Ellie, trusting and knowing that she is a complete safe space to express myself. Ellie has helped me navigate through personal hurdles, giving me strength and courage to pursue my wildest dreams and make them a success.

I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone who might require a little direction & motivation because she gives that to me, lighting me up every time I see her. To anyone who thinks they might need a little support, guidance and endless amounts of love, because we all know life can get on top of us sometimes and its a whole lot better when you don’t have to tackle it alone.

TESTIMONIALS BUSINESS MARKETING

Before I met Ellie, I knew I had the passion, determination and amazing vision inside of me, but I also felt like I was pushing up against something that was holding me back. With Ellie’s help I was able to smash through my ‘glass celing’ – not once, not twice, but three times! It was invigorating!

Working through my coaching series with Ellie was so instrumental in the launch of my business. Ellie builds her coaching series with soul, compassion and energy to support you to succeed. She truly ‘Ellie-vates’ you by unlocking your truest potential and revealing your own power. I am so fortunate to have Ellie as my personal business coach, secret weapon and cheerleader. I really encourage you to reach out to Ellie so you can experience your own beautiful and empowering journey!

I can see all the heart I brought to my business would have never been enough without being supported by a coach expert like Ellie.

When I finally had my first session with Ellie I was absolutely hooked on the wealth of information, tips, hacks and legitimate methods of digital marketing that I had absolutely no idea about. What’s more, she has coached me through the process of growing my business so I am able to work ‘on’ my business rather than ‘in’ my business.

I feel SO fortunate to have worked with Ellie – I had no idea how much I could gain from a coaching series! Ellie’s expertise in coaching, marketing strategy, leadership and her sparkly personality helped me to really activate my passions and generate clarity on a business that I am creating outside of my day job.

Ellie has such a knack for distilling her client’s strengths which I found really empowering, and she fully supported me with practical frameworks and honest conversations to enable me to make progress on creating a more aligned life for myself.

Ellie has totally expanded what I believe to be possible and available in creating a soulful biz and I’m so grateful for her support, wisdom and sparkle and I really highly recommend everything she has to offer.
